FallinWoman 1 #1 June 6, 2006 I have a beautiful step-daughter that I have treated as my own for the three years she has lived here. Just found out that her mom has used my husband's SS number AND her SS number to get credit..... WHO THE FUCK USES THEIR CHILD'S INFO TO GET CREDIT?? I can deal with sorting out my husband's credit, but why did she have to hurt her own daughter's credit? She is an innocent 12 year old. PEOPLE SUCK. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!!

d_squared431 0 #5 June 6, 2006 I feel for you and understand how upset you are right now. At least you and your husband have found this out at an early stage. It could have been a lot worse.

bob.dino 1 #6 June 6, 2006 How can a 12yo have credit? They can't enter into a legal agreement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #8 June 6, 2006 I don't know if it applies here or not but if this lady can do this then I would check to see if she was drug seeking using your daughters name. You can always clear your credit but you can not clear you name on a DEA report for drug seeking.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gravitational 0 #9 June 6, 2006 QuoteIt could have been a lot worse. I know that from personal experience. Ditto on this here. The police were not helpful, but that was before identity theft was 'cool'. Get some direction on where you can go. Get an attorney to subponea the credit apps. why we ever banned public hangings for instances like this is beyond me.------ Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #10 June 6, 2006 Anne, First off....deep breath, darlin.... Secondly... go to the local police department and file an identity theft complaint. Then, contact the credit bureaus and provide them copies of the police report.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #11 June 6, 2006 You are right...and my husband is doing all of that. His position as a firefighter/paramedic in †he county is helping us here..... it still pisses me off that I came here becuase I am fired up about something that is clearly wrong, and there are people telling me that I am wrong. I guess I just expect that people will recognize right from wrong. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #12 June 6, 2006 I understand what you mean about the post, but getting angry(er) over it isn't helping out the situation or your blood pressure...just let it go and concentrate on what you CAN do. If you go to the credit bureau's websites, they have information on identity theft and fraud alerts. Give them the police reports, enable fraud alerts so that no new credit can be authorized under her name. Then, you can dispute the defrauded credit lines with the creditors and the credit bureas to get them removed from her credit reports. www.creditboards.com is a great site with a ton of information, you may want to check them out.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

FallinWoman 1 #13 June 6, 2006 Thank you...and you are right. Unfortunately...there is nothing I can do...Officially I am nothing...just the step-mom....so Skymedic is going to have to do all the work. I do appreciate the help, though! ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!!

mnealtx 0 #14 June 6, 2006 You're very welcome...and you have more rights than you think, if you and SM have custody. If nothing else, you can still help him out by gathering information and drafting letters....Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Squeak 17 #15 June 6, 2006 well looks like your anger and Rage are still in need of quelling How about you actually do somthing constructive yourself about it instead of posting in Bonfire, where it will obviously be disregarded by some. If you post anything in this forum expect it to be ridiculed to some exten, you've been here longer than me and should relise that it's gong to happen. For some reason many people here have no ability to restrain themselvesYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

JENNR8R 0 #16 June 6, 2006 Gosh... and to add insult to injury you have to 'temper' your outrage around the daughter. After all, she is the girl's mother. I hope it gives you comfort knowing that your daughter has a wonderful home with you that she wouldn't otherwise have living with the Bio. Mom. You need to go jump out of an airplane... repeatedly! That always seems to cure what ails me. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #17 June 6, 2006 QuoteWHO THE FUCK USES THEIR CHILD'S INFO TO GET CREDIT?? Unfortunately a lot of assholes do. I'm SO sorry for your situation. The good news is, once you (and your 12-year old step-daughter) contact the agencies they can/should be able to clear everything up quite easily. At that point, you'll need to establish extra protection for her and do regular credit checks. Also, this is a prosecutable crime and since you know who did it, the sentence will be even sweeter.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

PLFXpert 0 #18 June 6, 2006 Quoteapparently if you have the name and social security number you can do what ever you want You don't even need that There was a funny story about a man jokingly opening a credit card in his dog's name. When he tried to cancel it the credit card company said, "I'm sorry sir, but only Fido Smith can cancel this card."Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Armour 0 #19 June 6, 2006 on top of getting things cleaned up, It's a good idea to get the three credit reporting agencies to have the files flaged and any time now credit or credit checks are done they will contact you to comfirm that it was legit. Dont know where you are located but in Canada I have mine flaged with a password they ask to confirm it is me that they are speaking to after My EX ran up nearly 10,000 in debt in my name 2 years after we broke up. Was almost 2 years till was all cleared up then three years after I fixed everything there was another atempt but the flagging and password kept it from happening-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

ACMESkydiver 0 #20 June 6, 2006 This kind of thing is not uncommon, unfortunately. The person(s) who stole my identity opened 4 cell phone accounts, purchased a whole bunch of online gaming (14 yr old girl) and CHILD CUSTODY PAPERS and CUSTODY LEGAL ADVICE (her mom) on my credit cards. The mom is using her 14 yo daughter as the culprit to escape a felony conviction. That is sicker than opening credit... I'm very sorry you're having such a hard time with the ex-mom. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richards 0 #21 June 6, 2006 Terribly sorry to hear that this woman has put you through this stress and involved your stepdaughter. I hope that your lawyers can sort this out with minimal stress/cost and perhaps her mom should be forced to seek some sort of counselling (if not face some charges as I am sure that what she did must be illegal). Hope things work out. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

moonglo 0 #22 June 6, 2006 Yes, my best friend's husband had his credit ruined by his horrible parents stealing his SS# when he was only 2 years old! He's finally getting it all straightened out now at the age of 25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #23 June 9, 2006 For the CC misuse, see an attorney. For your rage, speak to a friend, pastor or counselor. Public forums are about as useful as telling it to the guy sitting next to you on public transit. You'll get too many smart a$$ responses from the ... you know. Most likely that will increase your rage. Vicous cycle. Or PM a DZ.commer steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
